"In our opinion, and from our experience, there is nothing in South Vietnam which could happen that realistically threatens the United States of America. And to attempt to justify the loss of one American life in Vietnam, Cambodia, or Laos by linking such loss to the preservation of freedom, which those misfits supposedly abuse, is to us the height of criminal hypocrisy."

[CThomasFan]

This is a direct quote from Kerry's testimony in 1971, and proves beyond a reasonable doubt several things: 1. Kerry had no concept whatsoever of the inherent value of freedom. 2. Kerry's view of moral responsibility ended at defending your own personal well-being. 3. Kerry has not changed.

"In our opinion, and from our experience, there is nothing in South Vietnam which could happen that realistically threatens the United States of America. And to attempt to justify the loss of one American life in Vietnam, Cambodia, or Laos by linking such loss to the preservation of freedom, which those misfits supposedly abuse, is to us the height of criminal hypocrisy."...and to have uttered foolishness like this and then get up at a convention thirty years later and claim in reference to the Vietnam war "I defended this country as a young man..." is the height of moral hypocrisy......

And now he is thinking that he was "defending his country as a young man".
